Killzone 3

[Trace17]

I've been online since 11pm EST without any problems.

Well, connectivity problems. Did have teammate problems ha.

The tactical spawn point mechanic is awful. It's no better than Tacticians in Killzone 2 who wasted spawn grenades. If they were that adamant about keeping the class, they should have just made squad based gameplay and have it be the only class type you could spawn on.

Once teams are uneven and walking out of the base in MAWLR Graveyard means immediately getting shot and blown up by mortar fire, who is going to want to stick around and fill up the server?

[partridge]

I've quit between games because the connection screen stays there for too long, I'm sure they'll iron out these hiccups.

G1ggs was on a game with me yesterday and it was appalling! It was the Akmir snowly level and the opposition kept taking the high levels and picking up off like fish in a barrel, it was easily my worst game of the night

On the whole I had some good games last night, looking forward to tonight when I use my 24 hour voucher.

I really must keep going with the campaign though!

First thing I'll do later is add those who have sent PM's

Cloaked snipers, I've been caught out by a few of them, but I don't have a problem with that, they rarely stay completely still so they do show up and I agree about the radar jammer - it's a dead giveaway there's one nearby and he's unlikely to be aware of who's beside or behind him

update from Twitter:

KZ3 servers will be OFFLINE between 10am and 11am GMT for maintenance

[Euribo]

I've been trying to get online for the past 20-30 minutes, with no success. From the main menu, I hit multiplayer, and it sits at the connecting... screen, until it inevitably goes to "A Network Related Error Has Occurred".

[partridge]

Update from Twitter:

The entire KZ3 platform has been accidently deleted. All stats returned to zero



NOT REALLY Servers back online, GG thank you for your patience

It was bad, really bad. I tried my damn hardest to get them off that top level but everytime I got one another one shot me in the back
Akmir Snowdrift doesn't agree with me I just can't get to grips with it.

My fav map so far (not played them all) is the Crater in Guerilla mode, it's not too big but has plenty of places to run about, hide, snipe, plant turrets, etc, but at the same time isn't so open that flying drones can always get you.

It's bigger in Warzone mode, but still enjoyable. My worst map so far is Turbine. I don't mind Akmir but next time I'm not going up after them, they can come down to me

I still really like Frozen Dam though, either G or W mode. I really like what GG did with Gracht, it's still recognisable, I must try the Market level.

Oh, I tried the jungle map the other day and that was good fun, not as big as it first seems, but full of snaking corridors to get lost in! Seemed ideal for the infiltrator.

I tried the jungle map on Botzone and it is a decent map, but I think it's a shotgunners delight. I've still yet to get the Retro Map Pack. I might wait until the Steel Rain Map pack comes out and get both.

The video for the Stahlman lab looks great. Am I right in thinking this will be the first indoors only map; I may be wrong but it all looked indoors!

I bought all the DLC for KZ2 but I must admit I never played the train or the ISA space station maps.

I loved Beach Head though.

Well, I'll be off home in an hour, but won't be online till about 8 and I'll be armed to the teeth with my 24 hour voucher

I get my biggest scores on Turbine i love it but i know lots of people dont like it.

I still havent tried the Jungle map yet. Has it got enviorment hazzards like in the campaign?

My KZ2 LBP keychain arrived from Play.com today but it was a Sev keychain and not a Helghast

I might be again tonight, I'll let you know. The only downfall is that I've no mic, it's gone walkabout somewhere

Are you up for a couple of games tonight?

I was looking at getting one of those keychains myself. How big are they?

[master_8ball]

Had a number of good games last night. Started by jumping into some TDM with Swimfreak, but I get worked playing that, well not worked but always in the negative. So I left and started playing Warzone and had a bunch of 11,000+ games (no voucher used yet), was able to bump my KDR from .72 to .78 in about an hour, S&D is a lot of fun... but it is too easy to defend on some maps.

I will be on tonight but not until about 10ish

They are about 2 inchs tall. you cant choose if you get Sev or the Helghast its pot luck. Sev one is still cool but not half as much as the Helghast, i might check ebay

[Snake_XRS]

Has GG ever addressed the question of why Sev is about a foot shorter than everyone else in the game? It never really bothered me before but for some reason in this game when you stand next to Rico/Narville/etc., you are directly planted into their chest. Why is that? I know it's been mentioned back in the KZ2 days, but I wonder why that shorter viewpoint keeps getting repeated.

[G1ggs]

Erm..............My stats have been wiped on Killzone website

To tell you the truth i didnt think that in this game, at least i never noticed it. It was imediately noticable in KZ2 though.

Back to normal now.......Phew

If you play coop, you can see that you have a goofy hunchback stance that no one else shares. If you stare at your coop buddy, the view mostly lines up.
